Phish Tour is…..

Phish tour is…..

Where I want to be;

Incomparable to anything else;

The greatest vacation one can take;

Just what the doctor ordered;

An escape;

Where I meet friends I see no place else;

A well-known secret;

The greatest education possible;

Not as important as my job;

A trip through Gamehendge;

The life for me;

My home away from home;

Exhausting, but in a good way;

Where you can meet the one you’ve been looking for;

The best place on earth;

A learning experience;

Never soon enough;

A place to meet new friends;

One of the great things about America;

The life;

PhanArt, donations made to Mockingbird Foundation, and some disclosure

1 Comment

In the interest of keeping fans up to date on what’s brewing with PhanArt, we have dedicated this blog post to explaining how the donations to The Mockingbird Foundation take place, who donates what, and answer any questions you may have via the comments section below.

PhanArt raised $1314.24 over the course of 2009, starting at the book launch party on 2/7/09, and ending 12/30/09 at Mock Show Miami. That’s a ton of money, but where did it all come from? We have found a way to provide as much clarity as to where this money comes from, en route to its final destination, The Mockingbird Foundation.

Halley and PhanArt Pete doing some intense research c. 2006

First things first, PhanArt does not accept monetary donations of any nature. We have never taken any cash in hand, aside from at Mock Shows and PhanArt held events, and that money is sent off to The Mockingbird Foundation immediately. PhanArt is not a 501 (c)(3), nor do we make an effort to become one.  Instead, we direct fans to donate directly to The Mockingbird Foundation via paypal or mbird.org The only donations PhanArt collects are those made by artists and fans and blog contributors  in the form of shirts, posters, stickers, etc…, as well as from profits from the sale of PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish as each printing of books sells out.

Every two months , we will update what we have collected, and what we have donated from the sale of these items through auctions on ebay. We do not keep what is donated. Stickers and other items that were given to us during the collection period for the making of PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish were given away with sales of the book. We will continue this practice.

Good advice^^^

How we came up with the list. Well, very simply, we kept track of all donations made to Mockingbird through various methods – direct donations via PhanArtists, ebay auctions, paypal receipts from blog artists, and any form of proof that money went from artist/fan to Mockingbird. Again, no money is donated to PhanArt, or given to us at any point, aside from at poster shows. That amount is relayed to members of The Mockingbird Foundation, and they receive a check in the mail from PhanArt shortly thereafter. Case in point, we raised $40 at Mock Show on 12/30/09 from sales of donated items alone. We mentioned this to George and Elayne who had the Mockingbird booth next to us at Mock Show. They knew to expect it being sent, and we furthermore notified Ellis Godard, executive director of The Mockingbird Foundation, as has been done since earlier this year.

The PhanArt Blog shows the collective impact of Phish fans through the art created in the Phish community. We at PhanArt look forward to 2010 and continuing a great Phish tradition!

42 Degrees Art Gallery in Glens Falls features PhanArt and PhanArtists!

1 Comment

Not all galleries are the same.

In fact, you find very few that are much alike. While they all adhere to the same purpose (to display – and usually sell – pieces of art), each conveys its goal in very different ways.

One of the area’s more unconventional galleries is 42 Degrees, a new space that recently opened in downtown Glens Falls. Just a stone’s throw away from the city’s hospital, 42 Degrees specializes in Phan-Art – a form of art made famous by the band Phish that is used as promotion for concerts, musical events and pop culture.

“We really would like to go in that direction,” co-owner Mike Chowske said.

While many of the artists in the shop are local, the Phan-Art artists are drawn from throughout the country with the help of Albany-based author Pete Mason.

“(Mason) put out a book on Phan-Art, and we got in touch with the artists through him,” said co-owner Jon King.

The shop’s Phan-Art designers come from diverse locales, including Hartford, Conn., and Berkeley, Calif.

Many are familiar with HeadCount, a nonpartisan organization that works with musicians to facilitate participation in democracy.  Since its inception in 2004, the organization has registered over 150,000 voters. It is now taking a step forward, motivating members of the music community to be involved, active citizens. HeadCount’s Board of Directors includes Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, other well known musicians, and the very top managers, promoters and media publishers in the live music industry. HeadCount has a great deal of causes they educate the masses on, including Food and Farm Policy, Health Care Reform, Personal Liberty, Gulf Coast Recovery, Human Rights, and Sustainability and Conservation, as well as a “Midterms Matter” initiative to Get Out the Vote


On 12/30 at the Hyatt in Miami, FL, Mock Show was held in its 2nd installment this year, and the 5th overall Phish poster convention ever. It was a great success and featured dozens of artists from PhanArt, including Ryan Kerrigan, AJ Masthay, Tripp, Andrew Abis, Erin Cadigan, Bruce Horan, Fred Hosman, as well as new PhanArtists Uncle Ebenezer, Vinny Naro and Franky Scaglione among many, many others.
